Decided to open up one of our 40th anniversary 2011 Nissin Cup Gunpla set. We opened up Char’s Zaku first. The kit included in this noodle pack is around 1/200 scale (+/-). It does not require tools to assemble (just snap-off) and will take you around a few minutes to build. The stickers are made of semi stretchable plastic (imho). It does not have much articulation so expect it to just stand there when built. A really cute Gundam novelty item if you are going to ask me. I think the 2012 version is going to be released soon especially that Gundam Front Tokyo is now open.
